And I suspect that we’re talking about more than just “some mud”. Vehicle designers are very careful about protecting the electricals on offroad vehicles, and the first mechanic’s diagnosis of needing radiator work makes me think that the owner took the Jeep mud bogging, swamped the vehicle completely in a very deep hole, and is now hoping that the dealership will be unable to repair her truck and will give her a new one.

I’m with the dealership on this one. Jeeps can handle some mud and water, but the owners manual specifies the max fording depth, and beyond that you’re on your own.

If you don't want people mudbogging in their fancy jeeps, you shouldn't name the option package after a river. Jeep has gone downhill and stayed that way ever since they started with the whole "trail rated" scam.
